Well the big news from the summit was that the USB keys were stuck in customs Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday morning. They did, fortunately, show up for Thursday afternoon and we gave many out. Many individuals were excited about the keys. 01:18:45 <kerrg> There were, of course, numerous questions about Fedora 15. Gnome 3 is the main talking point there. 01:19:14 <kerrg> A large amount of Fedora 14 media was distributed as well. 01:19:26 <kerrg> I will say I was surprised with how many people who stopped by the booth were using versions going back to Fedora 12. 01:19:28 * jsmith-away thought the booth location for the Summit was awesome :-) 01:19:45 <kerrg> Thanks jsmith-away. Yes, we had a great location where everyone saw us. 01:19:56 <kerrg> Overall we had a great reception and generated a lot of interest. 01:20:14 <kerrg> "Mo" - forgive me I can't do the special characters for her name on this terminal - broguht some great pamphlets and fliers 01:20:39 <kerrg> Unless there are any other questions, I think that's all I have. 01:20:43 <makfinsky> I have a few of those I am going to pass around to some folks. Nice indeed. 01:20:52 <mock> kerrg: any fliers leftover? 01:21:04 <kerrg> mock: Yes, fliers and pamphlets. I'm not sure who has them now. 01:21:10 <kerrg> I can find out pretty easily. 01:21:27 <mock> for SELF, is what i was thinking 01:21:44 <VileGent> from the weight of the Event Box I have a pretty good idea 01:22:04 <kerrg> Also, the vertical banners got lost in the mail and diverted to TX but it all worked out in the end. 01:22:08 <kerrg> A lot of shipping problems I guess :D 01:22:12 <VileGent> i havent opened it yet will in the next week 01:22:37 <VileGent> #topic Vertical Banner 01:23:29 <jsmith-away> kerrg: We stuff as many of the fliers as we could into the event box 01:24:00 <VileGent> for some unknown reason the Vertical Banners that where heading to the RH Summitt made it to Boston, but then was diverted to TX to maxamillion 01:24:42 * jsmith-away wonders if a shipping label came off, and they used a previous one 01:25:04 * mock wonders if boston is the new texas 01:25:18 <makfinsky> LOL 01:25:28 <VileGent> I have been working with UPS to find out what happened but they have no idea, we have the banners so i closed the trace, and i have issued a shipping label for maxamillion to ship the banners back to me 01:25:32 <makfinsky> Man, if boston where the "new" tx, that'd be kinda scary. 01:25:59 <jsmith-away> VileGent: Careful -- they might end up in Boston if you do that :-p 01:26:12 <VileGent> jsmith-away, but a label from 3 shipments ago is the odd thing 01:26:29 <jsmith-away> VileGent: The funny thing was when some folks from UPS came to the booth at the Summit and gave us a bad time for having the USB keys shipped via FEDEX. 01:26:47 <jsmith-away> VileGent: Then we had to tell them that Fedex was slow, but UPS lost our other shipment. 01:27:05 * jsmith-away is really away now -- back to home improvement project 01:27:10 <VileGent> so hopefully we will have the banners at SELF 01:27:31 <VileGent> #topic SELF 01:27:40 <mock> VileGent: per the last meeting, i report to have about 25 white fedora square stickers, 30+ blue speak-bubble f-stickers, 25 pins, 25 pens, and ton of case badges 01:27:50 <mock> and a bunch of balloons 01:28:06 <VileGent> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SELF_2011 01:28:23 <VileGent> mock bring them with you 01:28:54 <VileGent> ok SELF we have alot of Fedora people going to SELF either presenting or at the table 01:28:55 <mock> planning on it 01:28:59 <rbergeron> ugh, sorry 01:29:02 * rbergeron swings in late 01:29:18 <mock> will there be usb keys for self? 01:29:39 <mock> er, SELF, no me 01:29:55 <VileGent> looking at Southeast Linuxfest Site looks like our sponsorship has gone through or is in the works enough they put us on the Site 01:30:04 <rbergeron> Yes, it's gone through. 01:30:05 <rbergeron> It's paid. 01:30:27 <rbergeron> mock: I do'nt think we were planning on just giving away usb keys, unless I missed a memo? 01:30:46 <rbergeron> I tihnk the remainder was maybe thought to be "special" swag and not just give one away to everyone kind of thing 01:30:51 <rbergeron> but I could be wrong :) 01:31:04 <VileGent> rbergeron, unless there are some in the event box if so we will hold them 01:31:21 <rbergeron> I don't know where the USB keys are - i assume jsmith-away has them all. 01:31:58 <rbergeron> I guess he culd let us know 01:32:12 * rbergeron is planning on proposing a Friday FAD activity soonish, if I get time tonight to write it up 01:33:17 <makfinsky> Dammit... another event I can't get to...
